[Naked Crook]

Meanwhile: Xyrho's ship had began its approach towards White Water City. It was within bombardment range. The ship dropped its cloak, and began to power its weapons. Weapons Officer: Shipmaster...we are within firing range of the city...shall we begin firing? Xyrho looked at the holotank in front of him. He noticed the evac shuttles. Xyrho: No...do not fire on the city. The weapons officer looked back at Xyrho. He had a look of confusion. Xyrho: Target the transports that are leaving the city. Our first move should be to demoralize the Humans. Nothing will be more demoralizing than watching vessel full of innocent people come crashing to the ground in an inferno. Xyrho paused. Xyrho: Bring all plasma canons online...destroy as many of those evac shuttles as possible... Xyrho stood up. He walked to the front of the bridge, right up to the bridge window. He looked down at White Water. Xyrho: THEN...only then...do we level this city. However...be sure NOT to fire on the designated safe area. We need the human military complex intact if we are going to determin exactly how much the Humans know about this planet. Weapons Officer: Yes, Shipmaster! The Weapons Officer got a weapons lock on each of the evac shuttles He began to fire the Corvette's plasma weapons ast the shuttles. The small, yet devastating, plasma torpedoes were destroying the evac shuttles in single hits. The evac shuttles that were not destroyed on impact, were critically damaged, and came crashing down towards the city, knocking down buildings, and destroying parts of the city in massive explosions and devastating infernos. Xyrho looked down at the destruction. He was unmoved. Xyrho: A fitting end for such a filthy race...
